The Best Song Contest In The World... Ever! Part X // One Hit Wonders (Results)
Yay congratulations Dan for a first time win in this contest *.* Alphaville got my silver medal so I'm delighted with that winner. Pleased with all the podium in fact. I did hope Helen Reddy could be a dark horse but that wasn't meant to be, glad she was at least top 10. 12th is way better than I was expecting for The Vapors after the SyncTube reaction so will take that! Thank you for a wonderful co-hosting job, Bré and Blobby! I loved the theme and flair throughout.

I checked out the accompanying Alphaville album Forever Young just last year as I wanted to discover more 80s synth-pop albums and it was recommended in a Digital Spy thread all about the topic. I did end up enjoying it and 'Sounds Like A Melody' was one of the songs I saved to my shuffle playlist, so nice pick Dan. Thanks for 5 points also!

Ooh okay my guess of 'Bré or Julian' coming through, I remembered you liking 'In The Year 2525 (Exordium & Terminus)' a lot so thought this would make sense as a Bré entry. Thank you for the points, sorry for not returning any, but this entry was 12th for me so not too far off - the eerie sound of their hit certainly extends to this one too.

Thank you for the points, Bjork! Oh my at The Blobbors. Is this a Blobby tidal wave of songs that can no longer win?

Thanks for introducing me to a Young MC song that hasn't been tainted by Mr Schue rapping

Thanks for the points Dandy! I've heard that Alphaville song before but totally forgot about Cappella sampling it until it was mentioned in the thread. It was so obvious upon relistening! Then the silver medal in those votes was the opposite situation - Young MC borrowing from 'Theme from Shaft'

Ha I clocked Chez right away on SyncTube! That cheeky denial xo Great song anyway. My suspicions for this one are either Bré or Julian also!

Happy that 'News At Ten' is top 10 right now and was even briefly in the lead! I lowered my expectations after the consensus at the listening session was just that it sounded like 'Turning Japanese', a fair comment I found the song when trawling the 80s top 100 archives a couple of years ago and it came back to me when wanting to send an act who had just one top 40. Thank you to Mango, Rollo, Scene and Severin for the points so far - especially Scene for top marks 💗

The Official DVD Chart
My Girls Aloud Blu Ray arrived over the weekend but totally forgot that it could show up here! Nice to see them at #11 on the Blu Ray chart / top 40 overall.

As mentioned in the voting thread, I am familiar with the Nirvana song 'Love Buzz' (love the Bleach album) but had no idea it was a cover! So that was a fun discovery. I liked the original version even if it'll be a weird adjustment now, much like the original 'Venus' by them was, but that became my favourite iteration in time.

Oh, off to a great start with the reveal as I liked that Helen Reddy song a lot! The instrumental reminded me a bit of 'Magic Fly' by Space which is high praise.

Hype! Expecting a flop on my hands this time but hoping my 12 could be a dark horse.
